7 walnuts a day deliver health benefits
ATLANTA, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- Georgia Institute of Technology researchers are testing if cellphones can help steer people away from chocolate cake and toward fruits and vegetables.
Andrea Grimes' EatWell system allows people to use their cellphones to record and share stories about what they are eating.
"I wanted to make a system that was able to harness the community-held expertise, not just bringing in outside expertise," Grimes, doctoral candidate at the Georgia Institute of Technology, said in a statement.
EatWell uses cellphones to record and share audio stories with community members about how they've overcome temptation or tried something healthier.
"People talk about being engaged because they actually hear the emotion in people's stories," Grimes said in a statement.
"They could hear the pride and excitement people felt when they tried a new smoothie recipe, or when this guy talks about trying out the veggie burger at Burger King and coming back later that day bringing his girlfriend."
